Thank you Luc. When you say "as mentioned in the other post ..." which post are you referring to? Do you have a reference/protocol for whole genome amplification? Can this be done on a multicellular organism rather than a single cell? -
Hi wbsimey,
as mentioned in the other post I also would recommend to work with a single cell in this case (I assume a single individual can not propagate) and amplify the sample by whole genome amplification before library prep (MDA).
Fro prokaryotes this has been done frequently.Leave a comment:

WGS prep of micro Eukaryotes
We are planning to sequence a denovo reference genome of a micro Eukaryote, but cannot extract enough DNA from a single individual for PacBio or Nextera Illumina protocols. We have extracted DNA from 68 individuals of a single population and get 3.56ng total (100ul of 35.6pg/ul). We plan to pool these individuals for a "composite" genome. Our concerns include: 1) are they all the same species/lineage? 2) how useful is a ref genome generated from a composite of individuals? and 3) what will the assembly challenges be with the likely high rate of variation in reads?
We have not seen many publications on this topic. Is anyone aware of publications on such a project or have any thoughts on this?
thanks,

Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...09-07-2023, 11:15 PM -
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) represents a range of diverse molecules that play a crucial role in many cellular processes. From serving as a protein template to regulating genes, the complex processes involving RNA make it a focal point of study for many scientists. This article will spotlight various methods scientists have developed to investigate different RNA subtypes and the broader transcriptome.
